Geoff, from Finstock, has invested in Southill Solar for several reasons. He says he likes that the project is “local and community-owned” and that “profits will benefit local communities.”

However, Geoff is primarily concerned about climate change and what we can do to mitigate its effects.

He says, “I work in the Department of Geography and Environmental Science at Reading University, with close links to Department of Meteorology. They have been in the vanguard of [climate change] research for many years.”
